SAHIL BHAT
SEPT 18: Former Chief Minister and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti claimed that she has been placed under house arrest and refrained from offering condolences on demise of Former Hurriyat leader Prof Abdul Gani Bhat.
Taking to social networking site X, Mehbooba Mufti said that the decision to place the political leadership under house arrest today, simply to stop us from visiting Sopore to offer condolences on the demise of Professor Abdul Gani Bhat, lays bare the harsh and undemocratic reality in Jammu and Kashmir.”
Mehbooba Mufti quoted the Hazratbal Incident and said it was loud unmistaken message from people of Kshmir which was pushed to edge by the incumbent Government.
PDP Stalwart added, “What unfolded at Hazratbal Dargah the eruption of spontaneous, raw public anger was not just an isolated incident. It was a loud, unmistakable message from people pushed to the edge.”
Launching a scathering attack on BJP, Mehbooba said the saffron party wilfully turns a blind eye to learn about the suppressed emotions that have been building for years now. She added the BJP remains committed to keep the region in constant state of turmoil and unrest for political mileage across the nation.
“The BJP however remains willfully blind to this truth refusing to learn anything from the deep anguish and suppressed emotions that have been building for years now. It is becoming increasingly clear that the BJP has no interest in peace or healing in Kashmir. Instead, they seem determined to keep the region in a constant state of turmoil weaponising pain and unrest for political mileage across the rest of the country. This cynical approach is not just irresponsible; it is dangerous and utterly reprehensible.
